We’ve got a new pond which must be half a mile away from the nearest lake/river yet frogs and toads have populated it almost immediately. How do they know where to find these new habitats?

When I lived in southern Georgia as a kid, the subtropical rain would leave water standing in ditches and low places for months. Invariably small minnows and crayfish as well as the typical tadpoles would appear. I always attributed it to the white heron (egret) who loved to mill about these places and maybe somehow transported eggs along on their feet. Just a guess though..
